## **1️⃣ Folder Structure**  
![Interface](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/3/f/2/6/3f26ce462760bc00/image_x28i34.png =511xauto)

Don’t want to lose years of structure and work, or simply want to start fresh without spending hours learning new concepts?  
Brainframe has you covered: everything is based on a **familiar folder structure** where everything is simply a document.  

You can:  
* Use our best practice folder structure provided during onboarding.  
* Import your existing folder structure and documents to recreate a **visual hierarchy** of your data.  
* Immediately start building up your content with **100+ document types, properties, approval workflows**, and more.

Each user also has their own **private inbox**, showing:  
* Recent activity  
* Personal documents  
* Items flagged as important  

From there, you get access to specific folders depending on your **role** in the company.  

| Notice the color indicators on folders, which let you quickly visualize the status of a folder.
